A courier in Stara Zagora is called because of the road, not the postcode. Burgas is 178 km away and reaches 52 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Stara Zagora today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 57 minutes.

What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Top published feeAED 2,000The highest fee the site shows for a single assignment: sealed medical samples in a cooled case, Dubai to Singapore.
Published band, per assignmentAED 900 to 2,600A document pouch to London is AED 1,200, an aircraft part to Frankfurt AED 1,500, an escorted watch on the Berlin lane AED 1,800.
What the flight costs youAED 0The desk books and pays the ticket, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never fronts the fare.
The one payment you makeAED 199, returnedThe Academy, paid once. It comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. Applying itself is free.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.

How to start, in four steps
1
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
4
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
The shape of a trip out of Stara Zagora is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 57 minutes on the road, check in at Burgas, and a seat you did not pay for. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of TLV, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. You do not open the consignment, you do not check it into the hold, and you do not leave it anywhere.
Getting to the aircraft from Stara Zagora
1 hour 57 minutes is the drive from Stara Zagora to BOJ, 178 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from BOJ you can realistically be offered.
At 178 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Stara Zagora, or a hotel by BOJ the night before, paid by us. Only BOJ is within reach of Stara Zagora at 1 hour 57 minutes, so the 52 destinations it serves nonstop are what you can be offered. There is no second airport within reach of Stara Zagora to fall back on.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |

| BOJ | Burgas | 178 km | 1 hour 57 minutes | 52 |
Stara Zagora is a city of 122,000 people in Stara Zagora, and the clock there runs 1 hour behind the Emirates in summer and 2 in winter. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Stara Zagora may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What BOJ reaches without a change
From BOJ a consignment can be in 52 other airports without touching a second aircraft. 21 countries are covered, and the heaviest routes are these.

What moves out of Stara Zagora
No industrial register exists here for Stara Zagora and none is going to be improvised. Hand carry demand in a city of 122,000 people is the ordinary kind, driven by a clock rather than by any single factory.
Why a courier in Stara Zagora is useful to the desk
The value of a Stara Zagora address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Stara Zagora today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 57 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
BOJ does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Stara Zagorthe best single change is Tel Aviv Yafo (TLV), and TLV to DXB is flown by flydubai and Emirates, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 6h 34m gate to gate, so an assignment between Stara Zagora and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of BOJ, between Bulgaria and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 1 hour 57 minutes drive to BOJ. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach BOJ, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
Questions about the Stara Zagora list
01How far is Stara Zagora from BOJ?
It is 178 km of driving from Stara Zagora, roughly 1 hour 57 minutes. Parking or the transfer is paid by the desk, and if the timings are tight the desk pays for a room near BOJ the night before instead of hoping.

03Getting from Stara Zagora to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Stara Zagorthe best single change is Tel Aviv Yafo (TLV), and TLV to DXB is flown by flydubai and Emirates, about 4 departures a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 6h 34m gate to gate, so an assignment between Stara Zagora and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
You do not. A residence visa is not asked for and not needed to be on the Stara Zagora list. What is asked for is a passport, the right to enter the country on the routing, and the ability to reach BOJ.
05Does it cost anything to apply?

06How is my fee agreed?
Nothing is charged back to a courier in Stara Zagora and nothing is deducted. The fee agreed before you left Stara Zagora is the fee that reaches your account after the handover.
Apply to fly out of BOJ
